Abstract : A computer code that calculates the resultant electron flux from a high-altitude nuclear detonation has been constructed. Included are calculations for early (seconds) to late (days) times after the detonation. In the early time calculation, an electron flux map is constructed as a function of time, B, L, and longitude. The late time map uses time, B, and L. The following points were considered in some detail: debris motion, electron injection, electron drift, loss rate formulation, and energy spectra. (Author)
